Incomplete shopping cart

[Former Member]

Hi everybody.

I would like to know :

When a requestor (user, not purchaser) wants do create a shopping cart and the material or service are not in the catalog and there is no contracts for this material or service, the user can create a shopping cart with only description of the required material or service, but the user don't know price and what vendor can supply this material, so user can create a shopping cart without vendor and without price.

The shopping cart can be saved or the user need to hold it?

How this shopping cart goes to the operational purchaser complete it, there is a standard workflow for it ?

Where operational purchaser can see this shopping cart?

Thanks

Hi,

If SC have material or service w/o source of supply, this SC (or item) goes to purchasers Sourcing Cockpit. Purchaser decide what kind of follow-on document will be (PO or BID_INV and then PO or AUC and then PO etc.)

To do this you must enable carry out sourcing in transaction SPRO.

Offcourse user must save SC.

Hi,

Price and vendor are not mandatory to create an incomplete PO.

You are correct, there is , before po creation, the possibility to activate the purchasing workflow for incomplete SC.

Based on the product category and purchasing group, the purchaser is determined.

The workitem is displayed in the purchaser inbox.

Kind regards,
